EU Jet Receivership - anyone ever get money back?

Just wondering if anyone ever got their money back when EU Jet (at Manston, Kent) went bust last year?

We'd booked flights for a hen weekend to Dublin. My friend who paid by credit card never heard anything and is still waiting to get a refund for the flight cancellation. I paid by Direct Debit, so was told to write a letter with a copy of the ticket receipt.

I'm also still waiting...

The EU Jet website doesn't seem to load anymore and as there was only ever an address given anyway (no tel number), it seems as though I will never see that £65 again!

    I'm afraid you're thr last in line - re Creditors, so the chances of getting any money back are zero !

    As an unsecured creditor, as treve says, you are last last last in the long line of people who are owed money.

    First people to get paid will be the administrators, then the secured creditors (banks, etc), then the tax man, then maybe shareholders depending on what it said in the companies books and then unsecured creditors.

    My mistake! I meant so say Debit Card - and no, the debit card is not covered from what I understand.

    I don't expect to be first in line! Was just wondering if anyone had actually been successful in getting their money back?
